Although most of it has been released before by Trojan, that Scratch box set has an impressive track listing, all things considered. Interesting (but not surprising) how some of those tracks are on Heartbeat and Pressure Sounds releases...

They have used guns to spoil the fun and force tasteless music upon the land. (Prince Buster)

Interesting one that. I bought the Trojan 12" re-release of Know Love, and sadly found it was the same distorted version as on 'Open The Gate'. Some might not be surprised at that, but I had also just bought Rastaman Train in the same series and that one was much better than the CD version on Arkology.

So in the end I gave up and cobbled together a 'Know Love' extended mix of my own from the much cleaner sounding Vocal and Dub versions on Seven Leaves LPs (Heart Of The Ark/Megaton Dub).

I think that Perry set is ****, o.k., if you dont own any of his thousands of records, that would be fine, but again, who the **** are they producung that CDs for. Of course theres a need and a public for all those anthologies......but arent there enough of Perry-anthologies around?
